A newly married man in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj landed in hospital after he overdosed on viagra, a medication which is used to treat erectile dysfunction.
According to media reports, the man, who recently got married, started taking the pills on the advice of his friends. He consumed the drug more than the recommended quantity, which lead to an overdose and subsequent hospitalization.
He reportedly went on to consume as much as 200 mg of the drug daily, nearly four times the prescribed amount and developed a condition called priapism.
Priapism, notably, is a prolonged erection of the penis, during which, the full or partial erection continues hours beyond or isn't caused by sexual stimulation.
As per reports, doctors performed penile prosthesis surgery on the man. The man will soon be able to lead a normal life, but he has a problem that will last a lifetime. The tension in his private part will never subside, hence, he will have to forever wear a tight cloth to hide the bulge.
